I love reading History. I find it more fascinating than most fiction. Although a registered Independent voter, my political and social views lean to a conservative outlook. Both major political parties are, in my opinion, totally bankrupt in ideals and intent. Both pull too far in their respective direction, and all have sold themselves to the highest bidders. A New England Yankee, I have great admiration for the founders of our nation. The early ones, Washington, Adams Jefferson and others put their lives on the line. Add Madison, Franklin and more. We are most fortunate that our Revolution/Rebellion was organized and led by educated, enlightened men (not to forget Abigail and some other uncelebrated women) who thought far into the future, and it took other men like Jackson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR to maintain the hopes & dreams of millions. France's Revolution started well, but was taken over by lesser men, and fell into the Reign of Terror, and the Guillotine. Russia suffered Lenin & Trotsky. We were luckier! I cannot get through the day without reading the Comics. Regular comics first, then the Political 'toons. Unemployed for 35 months, I finally landed a good position with a good company! However, now I have less time to comment, (a relief to some) and less time to read other comments. Just typing out my gripes & diatribes gives me a feeling of being a little less helpless, and I feel better having said it. Sometimes I goof. I do like reading other comments: occasionally I learn something.

    I am reading the past few days about investigations into where some of the protest groups are getting the money. Wouldn’t be surprised if it were found that some comes from HAMAS or the RNC.

    When leaf-blowers proliferrated, I thought “What a waste of gas”. For a nation increasing it’s population of over-weights, it’s a real cop-out! Get some exercise! (I have ALWAYS raked my cut grass).

    The repubs have printed in their literature often that Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” is one of the top ten most dangerous books in America. If they wrangle into total power next year, it’ll be one of the first books to be burned. (CEO of DOW Chemical will provide the bonfire!)

    Brain, even if they READ it, they will not understand it.

    It’s not the Unions. It begain in the 1980’s, when Ronald Reagan picked up the battle flag and led the counter-attack against the New Deal, the Fair Deal and the Great Society legislation. It was during the next few years that raises were less forthcoming for the working class, benefits began to fall away, hiring “Contract” workers was embraced by corporate CEO’s, and the salaries- benefit packages for corporate officers began to rise, exponentially by the years, into the upper atmosphere. NO man or woman in such an executive capacity is worth what most are paid today. Funny how the Billionaire-Investor class do not object to these obscene compensation packages, but howl “SOCIALISM!” when Bernie Sanders speaks up for the American worker.

    As Stalin once opined" It’s who COUNTS the ballots that wins!" (Or something like that)

    I have heard it straight from the mouths of some when I was down South 24 years ago, and saw it emblazoned on the side of Stone Mountain; “The South will rise again!” More than before, I think they mean it, in the worse way. If they want out, then let the infected members go this time.

    Any readers/commenters from GEORGIA here? I’d like to know what YOU think of your state Senator.

    Just theater. Anyone else would have been sent to a cell long ago.

    Don’t hold your breath, Homeless Buddy. The SCOTUS is set to hand down a ruling about where you can sleep.
